skybill 22 #26 January 11, 2005 Hi It!!, Keep old Scare-a-chutist and other skydiving rags??? Sure, I'm a rigger and that means that I'm a pack-rat too!! Even have a March 1943 "Fashionfrocks" 24' Twill reserve in the archives!! Got Scare-a-chutist back to '63!!! Just about all of 'em up to a couple of years ago. Srtarted giving the newer ones after I read them to my mailman who used to jump. It's a trip to look at where we came from!!! It's our history!!!!SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #29 January 11, 2005 QuoteHeck, I'm looking for extras to send to mom and dad. I'd give you mine, but somebody wrote on it. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #30 January 11, 2005 Anyone not wanting their current or back issues of Parachutist or Skydiving mags, please PM me for my address! My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #31 January 11, 2005 Last I checked, my dad had every single issue ever printed. I have restacked and later reboxed his entire collection probably four times over the years. As for me, I used to do a very good job of keeping them in order, but have unfortunately lost the will and have thrown (or had someone else throw) huge stacks of them away. I still have the very first printed newsletter (not even really a magazine at first), the one from the month I was born, the one where my dad got his D license, the one where my dad got his gold wings (before I was born), the one where I got my D license and few other special issues. If I dig around the house I can find stuff from 1981 to the present, but not in any semblance of order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb092 0 #32 January 11, 2005 I only keep the ones that have something interesting to me in them. Sotries about my DZ or friends that are in the mag. What could possibly go wrong? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #33 January 11, 2005 QuoteI still have the very first printed newsletter (not even really a magazine at first) Wow! Any chance of scanning and posting that?! I'd love to see what they wrote back then, and who wrote it. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
